Captured on the same day. Make I dey lookout for your collection post before I stress myself go there

Please who knows wether people that did capturing since April 20th to 30th have been collecting their passport

Team DIY,
Applied for International passport in February but upon getting to the immigration, I got to know that my DOB in NIN didn't match. I left with annoyance. I started processing my DOB modification. I went to high court, did affidavit and paid 15k to remitta. After I was done with that, I submitted my application at my local government Secretariat. I kept waiting and waiting till I ran out of patience. And as I have read on this platform that NIN modification of DOB sometimes take a while. I was worried and agitated. One day, I called the man in charge of NIN and he told me bluntly that if I wanted FasTrack, I should pay 20k. Shortly after that, I managed to give him 10k and later pay him upon completing his job.
But, to God be the glory. My NIN modification dropped just last week and I had to reschedule my NIS appointment... Just yesterday, I went to NIS Akure for interview and capturing at the same time. I was interviewed and captured. I left Akure around 8:20pm.
Team DIY, though stressful but it worth it. I met someone that paid as high as 50k to do 32 pages FasTrack.
This is my testimony....
32 pages, Captured the interved yesterday, 29th July, 2022.
I owe God my praise.
Let somebody shout hallelujah.

Yea... Do it yourself all thru... Yes i strongly recommend Sagamu processing center because your passport will be out between 3 to 6 weeks after capturing without bribing anyone.

kumbhuru:
all DIY?
Would you advice on to go on DIY in Sagamu?

Sagamu is the new Alausa then. Nice one. Thanks

You will write application letter at the NIS office, the format is on their wall,and it's very easy. Take along all printed documents you downloaded from the site,while applying. Go with old passport if its renewal, and if fresh application, go with guarantor's form fully signed and stamped where necessary, with photocopy of guarantor's passport data page. Every other thing needed to be done, will be passed across to you while opening a file at the NIS office.

Thank you for this response, very useful. Do hope it will be nice experience for me.

Good evening everyone, my two kids were captured about two months ago but my son's passport has his sister's name and details but his passport. The immigration official that captured them said I should give her time to correct it but it's been over a month without any change. Is it possible to go and pay and capture again or should I report them to their district head? I told their head before and she asked them to pay for a new passport for my son but they are seriously avoiding that. Please what do you think I should do to get my son's correct international passport

I captured last Tuesday and got SMS from NIS today that my passport is ready for collection. Is it possible to get SMS from them without it being ready

please do children i mean as young as two years old also require NIN to get passport?

You can only confirm by visiting there and don't forget to feed us back on the outcome.

Corrections might take awhile, except you are in Abuja, only then you can get a swift response + am sure the official is trying his /her best to correct the error without making it look unprofessional of him/her(the job will be on the line for such error).

My advice if you are in haste or going to be needing the passport sooner, I would suggest you go for fresh registration.

Okay. Noted with thanks

Godis2much:



Please, my passport expired and I want to renew it for an urgent travel purpose, what is the maximum time to get it through fast tracking?

Secondly, what passport office is recommended for fast tracking and how much did you pay for yours and can you recommend me to someone reliable at the passport office.

I will appreciate your quick response on this

Thanks

You can get it in less than 2 weeks. However at a fee. Picked up my passport last week.
Paid a total of 135k
45k to start the process (Didnt do DIY).
70k to change the biometrics date from 2 months to 2 days.
20k to fast track collection to 2 days.
Just like you, i was desperate. If not, i would have waited.
Did it at alausa. However i heard someone say one can get it in 3 days at abeokuta for about 60k or so

Good morning everyone
I would like you to tell me if this will affect my passport application.

I have all my names intact and correct on all my documents except my birth certificate which has the same last name and first name as other documents but the other name (middle name) is different from those on my other documents.

Is necessary to do another or doesn't mean anything I can process for the application.

One question, is your birth certificate from NPC?

IF YES, it will affect, but if no, visit NPC for certified birth certificate and effect the correction there while registering

Finally my date of capturing is getting closer. Thank you all for tips and guidance for DIY. I have all document ready and would be capturing at Alausa soon. I just want to ask, is it still advisable to go before the appointment date to sort things out (DIY) or can i get everything done on the appointment date? Thank you all very much.

hardiodun:
Hi guys!! So I was at Alausa today for capturing, team DIY!! (I'm super grateful for this thread. Helped me a lot!) I'd try as much as possible to give details of steps I took before today, the events that transpired today so you don't make minor mistakes like I did today.

See ehn, if you know you are DIY, just make sure all your documents are intact (id give a list of required documents), duly stamped, no NIN or name issue whatsoever and I can assure you, it will be hassle free.

I had made payment since November last year, got an appointment date last December (find below all you need on the homepage to DIY https://passport.immigration.gov.ng/) but missed the day, so this February, I went back to reschedule.

I made a reschedule two weeks ago around 10th February and was given a date, 10th March, but that was too far for me, so I went back to the dates and saw today, 25th February was free (I didn't know how I missed out on the date initially) so I rescheduled again for today, meanwhile you have only 3 appointment scheduling attempts. I had used 2 and the third reschedule date, which was today, was my last attempt. I sha used one mind (the if I perish, I perish mind) and picked today's date.

Immediately I got a date, I downloaded the appointment slip and saved on my phone. I used my phone for the entire application process until the printing stage. (I'd advise you download each document and save on the go).

Mine was a fresh passport application so the following are the documents I took along:
*Application page (shows you have made payment, contains the information you filled online etc)
*Payment receipt (download this and print this too after making payment successfully)
*Guarantor form (available online. Download, print, fill and sign accordingly. Attach your guarantor's passport photograph, then get court stamp. I'd advise you go to a court near you to stamp, I did mine at Alausa today and I paid 2k for it. *Sobs*) Attach your guarantor's intl passport biodata page to the stamped form. My guarantor's intl passport would be expiring April this year and it was a source of worry to me that I was even looking for another guarantor, but I took the risk and apparently, it could be used since it's still valid. I took my guarantor's NIN too but it wasn't requested for, but still take yours along o, the anointing I carry might be different from yours, lol
*2 passport photograph of yours (I ended up using 1 though. Also, avoid getting to alausa before doing passport. 8 copies there is 1k as opposed to where I did mine at 8 copies for 500 naira, well except if money no be problem for you sha )
*Birth certificate ( photocopy and original. Please, I beg you, carry the original along o, carry the original of all your supporting documents along with you to avoid stories that touch the oesophagus)
*State of origin certificate (photocopy and original)
*NIN (photocopy and original)
*Appointment slip
*On getting to Alausa, before you even enter at all (I didn't know this, the guy that did my court stamp was the one who hinted me) ask the woman making photocopy outside that you want to buy passport application form. It's a 3 page form sold for 300 naira. Fill accordingly and attach your passport photograph. This is also one of the documents you'd be submitting, so after filling, add it to the other documents listed above.
*Letter to the PCO (Passport Control Officer) this is a handwritten letter on an A4 paper. There's no particular format for it (I know cos I asked some officers). Just harness your secondary school formal letter writing skills and address it to the Passport control officer stating that you are applying for an intl passport. Finish.

Next thing, in the immigration compound enter inside the building right in front of you (me I saw plenty people outside the building, under the canopy and panicked cos I didn't even know what to do or where to go. I went to sit down with those outside first before I was able to ask few people questions and they directed me, so don't be like me). When you enter the building, there is an officer or officers to your right on a reception like table. They are servicom. Move to them and tell them what you came for. They would ask for the application form ( I was lost for some minutes cos apparently, I had two application forms. The one downloaded online and the 3 page one I bought. What they need is the one you downloaded online. Give it to the officer and sit right in front of them till they call your name. Me I didn't know I was supposed to wait in front of them, I still carried myself back outside under canopy to sit . It wasn't until I asked another person again and they said I should go back to meet the officer that I was in the wrong place. As soon as I got there, she called my name and gave me back the form. That's how God saved me o. Could have been a different story if I was a minute late)

After returning the form to you, they then ask for your documents both photocopy and original. Your fate is determined starting from here. Make sure you go on your date of appointment gangan, if not, you'd be dismissed and told to go reschedule. Also, your documents, photocopy and original will be vetted here. Know your guarantor's full names and relationship to you o. They'd ask you at this point.

If you scale through, your original documents will be returned to you and you'd be given a file containing the photocopy after which you fill a book with some of your information. You'd then go to room where your documents will be vetted yet again and the file collected. You'll fill another book after which you'll be told to go wait under the canopy (the canopy that me I went to sit upon my arrival ) your names will be called via a public address system afterwards and your file given to you which shows you are ready for capturing. You wait your turn and you'd be later ushered into the capturing rooms. Your file will be collected again here for another vetting and if you have no issues, they'll give you your file and you capture, the capturing officer will then finally collect the file after everything and a print out containing your information and collection date given to you. If you have issues eg NIN, name arrangement etc, your file won't be given to you for capturing (they'd tell you the issue though and advise you)

I entered the immigration building today 25th February around 12:30pm, captured and left around past 4pm. My collection date is 8th March 2022 (I'm like shey na eye dey pain me abi na wetin I dey see cos it seems pretty early, lol). I'll keep you guys posted sha. Good luck to everyone awaiting this process. I hope this helps!

This is really insightful hardiodun. Please i want to be certain if all the information here are still valid as you captured since February. Recently some are saying it's better we go before the capturing date to arrange our file but it seems you did yours same day and even advice the opposite. I would be capturing at the same Alausa soon and all my documents are intact. I am confuse and want to know the best course of action now, going before or on the capturing date. I don't really care how long they take as long as i get to capture that day. Thanks

Have you confirmed your NIN is validated?

It is Advisable to go before your capture date where you will interact and ask necessary questions .

Thank you i did my NIN since 2014 and have the premium slip since then. Been using the NIN for various registrations/applications without any issues so far. I don't really get what the validation means, thank you.

Please my wife and myself want to renew our passport but we would like to change the marital status to "married", I hope this does not require any amendment in our NIN data?

go to the passport to confirm, your passport might be ready and the tracker is not updated

Ifeoba:


Application letter is compulsory. It is just a simple application letter. You write it on A4 paper with biro and address it to PCO.

For renewal, you don't need a guarantor. It is only fresh application that requires guarantor form. You can generate that on NIS application portal.

You can open file on her behave if you want to do that before your capture date. Just ensure you go with all the required documents.

Of course, a 21 years old person can be your guarantor. As long as the person's passport is still valid and willing to sign for you and give you photocopy of his/her passport data page.

Just make sure all your documents are complete and you are ready to spend almost the whole day there. NIN verification is what take most people's time at Alausa. Once you submit your application form, they may not call your name again to confirm your NIN verification in the next 10 hours, and you may be lucky. Check back previous posts here to be double sure of all the necessary documents. Iree o!

Is it a must the guarantor's passport has been stamped before. I mean must the guarantor have an international traveling history? Just asking to know if I can be my son's guarantor

Hello, pls how can I contact you. I think we are doing the same thing here.

There is no need to go before the appointment date. It is a total waste of time and money. They will open file for you on your appointment date. It doesn't take up to 15 minutes. Just make sure you have all your documents and that your NIN Date of Birth and Names match those on your application form.

For Alausa applicants, make a photocopy each of your Birth Certificate/Declaration of Age and State of Origin Certificate. Also go with the original copies. Once they start making announcement by 8am, go to servicom and start processing your application. You should capture in an hour or 2 maximum.

victorVIC1:

They are not interested in the travel history on the passport of the guarantor. Note the following:

1. The guarantor's passport must be valid (not expired)

2. Guarantor must give you photocopy of data page (page with photo, name, passport number, etc)

3. Guarantor must sign the guarantor's form

4. The physical presence of the guarantor is not needed

5. The guarantor must be 18 years and above

6. Of course, you can be your son's guarantor.
